Davis Waldorf will be taking advantage of its spacious campus just east of Highway 113 with outdoor classrooms ready for the return of about 70 students next week.
More schools cleared to open doors BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Three more private schools in Yolo County have received waivers to resume in-person instruction for students in grades K-6. Peregrine School in South Davis was scheduled to resume classes on Tuesday after being granted a waiver last week and both Davis Waldorf School and Grace Valley Christian Academy were granted waivers on Sunday. They join Woodland Christian School as the only elementary schools in the county
where children may return to classrooms. Under current state rules, schools in counties where COVID-19 activity is widespread — those in the purple Tier 1 — are limited to distance learning except for elementary schools that receive a waiver to resume in-person instruction. Waivers must be approved by county health officers as well as by the state Department of Public Health. Now that its waiver request was approved, Davis Waldorf will be taking advantage of its
spacious campus just east of Highway 113 with outdoor classrooms ready for the return of about 70 students in grades 1-6 on Sept. 14, according to a press release from the school. “(W)e have created outdoor educational spaces for each class on our five-acre campus,” said director Jennifer Slater. “Several of our subject classes are typically held outdoors including games and movement, gardening and woodworking. In our new outdoor spaces children will learn everything from geology and
math to music and handwork. “Over the last couple of months, our community has pulled together to create outdoor classrooms, which will support the children in deepening their connection to the natural world and each other while maintaining best health and safety practices,” said Slater. All students and employees will wear face coverings and 16 new outdoor hand washing stations have been installed, the school

On Aug. 25, British author and journalist Gary Younge spoke with UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May in a virtual program titled “Going Viral: Race, Racism and Rebellion in the Midst of a Pandemic.” The event was the first of the 202021 Chancellor’s Colloquium Distinguished Speaker Series. Younge, 51, is an award-winning journalist and professor of sociology at Manchester University in the United Kingdom. He spent several years in the United States covering American politics for The Guardian during the Obama era. In March, a couple of weeks before UC Davis suspended operations due to the coronavirus pandemic, Younge spoke at the Mondavi Center about his book on gun violence, “Another Day in the Death of America,” which was chosen for last year’s Campus Community Book Project. Speaking from London, Younge returned virtually last month to talk about the Movement for Black Lives and the coronavirus pandemic with Chancellor May. The conversation was
interrupted by technical problems and was later completed and posted online last week. After living for some years in the U.S., Younge said police killings of Black people came to feel as inevitable as natural disasters. “The decades, like hurricanes, seemed to have names. Not first names, like Katrina or Maria, but full names, like Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown,” Younge said. “Their arrival was both predictable and predicted, and yet somehow, when they landed, the effects were still shocking.” Even the death of George Floyd, whose killing earlier this year by police in Minneapolis sparked a global protest movement, “doesn’t contradict what we think and know about relations between African Americans and the police but confirms them,” Younge said. “We know this because we’ve seen it happen again and again.” If Floyd’s death was a tipping point, it was in part because the killings of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in the months prior, as well as a white woman’s 911 call reporting a Black birdwatcher in

When Rochelle Swanson decided not to seek reelection to the Davis City Council in 2018, she never intended to walk away from elected office forever. Rather, after two terms on the council, she wanted some time away to focus on her youngest son, Cameron, and his approaching graduation from high school. “I called it my semiretirement,” she said last week, “because I would be willing to step up and serve again in the future. “Little did I know it would be so quickly though.” A combination of factors landed her back in the hunt for a council seat. Her son graduated, for one. Then the switch to district elections, which would enable South Davis to finally have a representative on the council, prompted community members to approach
her, she said, to get her thoughts on running. Of the three disSWANSON tricts up Back for more for election in November, only District 5, encompassing all of South Davis, would have no incumbent on the ballot. “Then the pandemic hit and the economy was already getting shaky and I had more folks asking, ‘Would you consider coming back?’” Swanson said. There’s a reason why, she explained: the learning curve that comes with becoming a City Council member is steep. There was an enormous amount of reading and learning that came with the job when she first joined the council in 2010, and ultimately Swanson helped steer the city through a
recession and recovery, while also forming regional partnerships and collaborations. And getting through what lies ahead, she said, will require all of that experience. “It’s a perfect storm of things that have come together that I’m uniquely qualified for,” Swanson said. “I understand the budgets, I’ve been in front of them, the regional collaborations … and that’s what it’s going to take. “This is a very different recession. It wouldn’t surprise me if we lost 25 percent of our local businesses. So we have to look at things fresh, and understand the core responsibility of local government.” The top issues, she said, are economic sustainability and viability. “I think that’s going to be very important: what must we retain, what must we

Briefly Man injured in shooting Woodland police are investigating a shooting that left a man injured early Sunday morning. According to Sgt. Dallas Hyde, officers were dispatched shortly before 2:30 a.m. to check out reports of multiple gunshots in the area of Bourn Drive and Paradise Valley Drive. “As officers responded to the calls, an officer at the police department heard gunshots coming from East Street,” Hyde said. “Officers located a gunshot wound victim in the front parking lot of 565 East Street.” Officers administered first aid to the victim, who was transported by ambulance to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento with what Hyde described as nonlife-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, Woodland officers requested crimescene assistance from the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office and the California Highway Patrol. As officers investigated the Bourn Drive shooting scene, a vehicle caught their attention by circling through the area multiple times, Hyde said. Sheriff ’s deputies attempted to stop the vehicle and a pursuit ensued, ultimately ending in the arrests of two West Sacramento men. “It has not been determined what role, if any, that they had in the shooting. A firearm was not located,” Hyde said. Anyone with information about the shooting incidents is urged to contact the Woodland Police Department crime tip line at 530-661-7851.

It’ll be much easier to find this way S IGN OF THE TIMES ... the city of Davis has officially decided to rename Miller Drive “Lucas Lane” after 11 bright orange “Frerichs for Council” signs were spotted along that lovely street ... vote early, vote often ... you can even vote twice this year according to the highest authority in the land ... SPEAKING OF HIGH AUTHORITY ... I couldn’t believe my ears when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer suggested to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr that “it’s illegal to vote twice,” to which Barr replied smugly, “I don’t know what the law in a particular state says.” ... Exasperated, Blitzer pressed on, asking “Are there any states where it’s OK to vote twice?” ... Barr, who one day long ago apparently passed the bar, seemingly doesn’t mind acting as if he’s absolutely clueless about one of the most elementary rules of a functioning democracy ... A CANDIDATE BY ANY
OTHER NAME ... have you noticed that trend in lawn signs where male candidates in town want to be known by their last names while female candidates mostly prefer using their first names? ... Most signs in town feature both a first and last name all right, but invariably one is much more prominent than the other ... I’ve seen signs for “Cecilia,” “Betsy,” “Rochelle” and “Linda” along with signs for “Guenther,” “Frerichs,” “Walsh,” “Provenza, ” “Dodd” and “Arnold” ... have yet to see a “Donald” sign, however, which would be a dramatic act of courage in this decidedly Democratic town ...
Special to The Enterprise Jews in Davis and the Yolo County area will join millions of others throughout the world to celebrate the beginning of the Hebrew year 5781 between Sept. 18 and Oct. 11. Known as the Days of Awe, the most solemn time of the Jewish calendar, the period highlights the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah (New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). Congregation Bet Haverim in Davis will observe these days in cyberspace, in deference to the ongoing pandemic. Traditional, contemporary and shorter family-oriented services will be offered. Bet Haverim invites both partners and non-partners to join us for these special services. Tickets are required and may be purchased by non-partners from the congregation’s website, bethaverim.org. UC Davis students with an ID, visiting Israelis and families of active-duty military personnel will be
offered complimentary tickets as guests of the congregation. Further details are available from the Bet Haverim office at 530-758-0842, which is staffed (but closed to the public) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays. Find the full schedule of High Holy Day offerings and more details at https://www.bet haverim.org/pray/highholidays. Observances of the month of Elul are underway, and a celebration of Selichot is planned for Sept. 12. This will include a concert and an online Selichot service in conjunction with Congregation Beth Shalom in Carmichael. On Sunday, Sept. 13, there will be special activities (details on the website) and a Zoom gathering called “Hi! Holidays.” The community is invited to join this gathering with storyteller-inresidence Joel ben Izzy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur stories to start the

AIR TRADE: PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL FOR PRESIDENTIAL PRAISE ... shortly after former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz gave an over-the-top pro-Trump speech at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump announced that Holtz would soon be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor ...
SPEAKING OF LOU HOLTZ ... the celebrated coach was well within his rights in offering a fullthroated endorsement of a second
term for President Trump ... and he was well within the bounds of decency to discuss his positions on a number of issues of the day and contrast them with the opinions held by Joe Biden ... in fact, it would be great if more football coaches were willing to be as forthcoming with their opinions ... Holtz, however, was over-thetop out of line when he called Biden a “Catholic in name only.” ... you’re skating on thin ice when you judge the condition of another man’s soul and attempt to define his relationship with God ... judge not, lest ye be judged ... Or, as Father John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame, explained it after hearing Holtz’s comments, “We Catholics should remind ourselves that while we may judge the objective moral quality of another’s actions, we must never question the sincerity of another’s faith, which is due to the mysterious working of grace in that person’s heart.” ... — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
New Year. The event is free, although preregistration at the website is required and donations are requested. Erev (evening) Rosh Hashanah observances begin on Friday, Sept. 18. Starting at 5 p.m., Rabbi Greg Wolfe and the team of service leaders will host a virtual gathering in the Congregation’s Redwood Grove. From 5:45 to 6:45 p.m., Rabbi Greg Wolfe and Dan Tennenbaum will lead a family-friendly Rosh HaShanah seder. From 5 to 5:30 p.m., Rabbi Seth Castleman will use familiar melodies to bring in the new year with joy, celebration and community for families with children. This is a free service; register online. The traditional evening service with Rabbi David Aladjem, Rebecca Plack, and Ken Firestein will begin at 7:30 p.m. The services continue the next day, Saturday, Sept. 19, from 8 a.m. until noon. Ticketholders can choose from a variety of services, which will include baby blessings, traditional and
contemporary services and Musaf with Ernie Biberstein and Rebecca Plack. The single service on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, Sunday, Sept. 20, runs from 9 a.m. to afternoon. There will also be an afternoon “Day of At OneMent” from Davis Central Park, with a live stream. The day will conclude with an outdoor Tashlich gathering and communal blowing of the shofar (the traditional ram’s horn). Kol Nidre (All Vows), the opening prayer for Yom Kippur, begins with a gathering at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 28. Both traditional and contemporary services will run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The next day, Monday, Sept. 28, Yom Kippur observances continue with Birchot HaShachar and P’sukei D’zimra service at 8 a.m. with Rabbi David Aladjem and Virginia Lantry. That group will offer a traditional Shacharit at 9:30 a.m., while the contemporary Shacharit at 9:30 a.m. will be lead by
Rabbi Greg Wolfe and Dan Tennenbaum. The Yizkor (memorial) ceremony will occur at 11 a.m., with the morning and early afternoon service concluding at about 1 p.m. Rabbi Seth Castleman will lead a family Yom Kippur service from 9 to 9:45 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28, with Bob Smith leading music.

Following an afternoon break on Sept. 28, there will be a contemplative chant circle with Hallie Morrow and Carrie Shepard from 3 to 4 p.m. The Yom Kippur observance continues with services at 4:30 p.m., a special highlight of which is the B’nai Mitzvah class chanting Haftarah Jonah. This will be followed by readings and music of the Martyrology service. The concluding services of Ne’ilah and Havdalah will begin at 6 p.m.
Yolo remains purple as other counties move to red BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County remained solidly in the state’s purple Tier 1 with widespread risk of COVID-19 activity on Tuesday when the state updated the status of counties throughout the state. Five counties — Amador, Placer, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Orange — did make the move to Tier 2 on Tuesday but Yolo remains one of 33 counties still in the purple tier where
business and school activities are most restricted. Moving to Tier 2 would allow a number of businesses, including gyms, libraries, nail salons, movie theaters and places of worship to reopen, albeit with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at a time. Restaurants could also resume indoor dining with a maximum capacity of 25 percent or 100 people, whichever is fewer, and schools could resume

in-person instruction. But to move to Tier 2, Yolo County needs to go at least two weeks with a daily new case rate below 7 and a test positivity rate below 8 percent. However, the county’s daily new case rate went in the wrong direction over the last week, jumping to 9.4 from the 7.3 previously calculated by the state. Yolo County’s test positivity rate remains below 8 percent according to the state’s calculations but has
been steadily rising according to county data. Meanwhile, the impact of Labor Day weekend remains to be seen. “Three-day holiday weekends have not been advantageous in terms of the mitigation of the spread of this virus,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom during his Tuesday briefing. Newsom noted the surges in cases that followed previous holiday weekends such as Memorial Day and 4th of July and
said, “as a consequence, we are very cautious in terms of our approach as we move forward.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @ATernusBellamy.

SCHOOLS: Educators submit reopening plans to county From Page A1 announced. Each class will remain together as a cohort for snack, recess and lunch. Similarly, the reopening plan submitted by Peregrine outlines how the school will follow all of the procedures and protocols required by the county and state in order to resume in-person instruction. As with Davis Waldorf, they include health screenings as children arrive at school, disinfecting and cleaning procedures, face coverings and keeping students in cohorts. “Classes are being kept separate during the school day … so that a group of students can be quarantined if someone in the cohort tests positive for COVID-19, without having to quarantine the rest of the school,” the Peregrine plan notes. “Classes will have one assigned indoor classroom per cohort, and cohorts will rotate between six outdoor classroom locations,” according to the plan. “Classes will be held outside as much as possible, weather permitting.”

Davis Waldorf School has prepared outside classrooms where students will return next week. Additionally, teachers will monitor students both inside and out to ensure they maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet apart when possible. Enrollment capacity has been reduced, the school said, to ensure adequate social distancing.
outlining protocols going forward, including students remaining in cohorts for all classes as well as for recess, lunch and other activities, though the plan says the school will begin with halfday, in-person instruction so “we do not anticipate lunch at school at this time.”
Similar to Davis Waldorf and Peregrine, Grace Valley Christian Academy has a reopening plan
Face coverings will be required for all staff and students in grades 3-6. “We will communicate to
parents that, even though not required, public health officials recommend face coverings for children in grades K-2, and it is thus encouraged,” the Grace Valley reopening plan states. Grace Valley classrooms have been reorganized, according to the school, “such that student desks are situated approximately 6 feet apart from each other, and from the teacher’s desk. “We have significant outdoor spaces and anticipate that each cohort will have some courses outdoors. This schedule will likely change day-to-day, depending on the particular lesson being taught, the weather, and air quality. Classes will be outdoors whenever practicable.” All three schools have countyand state-approved plans in place for dealing with positive COVID19 cases, including quarantining and contact tracing, as well as triggers for closing the school and returning to distance learning. The Grace Valley plan, for example, says, “if a student or staff member in a given cohort tests positive or is diagnosed with COVID-19, we will close the
cohort for a minimum of 14 days from the last known exposure date and the cohort will move to distance learning. “We will notify (Yolo County Public Health), identify close contacts and immediately notify all cohort members and other close contacts,” the Grace Valley plan states. “In the 14-day closure period, we will thoroughly clean and disinfect the classroom. As the conclusion of the 14-day period approaches, we will evaluate the status of students and staff to determine whether to continue the closure period beyond the 14 days. If, for example, others in the cohort have tested positive, are demonstrating symptoms, or are still required to quarantine or isolate, we would likely continue distance learning for the cohort until a sufficient number of students and staff are able to return to class.” Additionally, the school said, “We will move to all-school distance learning if at least 5 percent of the total number of teachers, students, and/or staff test positive within a 14-day period.”

LINKS: First speaker in Chancellor’s Colloquium From Page A1 New York’s Central Park, had weighted the national conscience so that it was set to tip. While it did not result in death, Younge said, the incident in Central Park — “I’m gonna tell the cops that there’s an African American man threatening my life,” a white woman threatened — provided the starkest illustration of Americans’ instinctive understanding of the country’s racialized power structure. The confrontation showed a white American’s impulse to weaponize that power structure, Younge said, “drawing on centuries of once spoken but now inherently understood tropes — a Black man physically threatening a white woman in the woods — to summon the state to protect her.” The 911 call was placed on May 25, the same day Floyd was killed. Both incidents were captured in videos that immediately went viral, the latter video illustrating the violence implied by the former. Within a week, people across the country had poured into the streets in cities large and small, many emerging from their homes for the first time since a monthslong lockdown was imposed. The confluence of the pandemic and the resurgence of the Movement for Black Lives was not a coincidence, Younge said, or at least not separate. “This was the summer when we were all told to cover our mouths, stay at home and not see our friends,” Younge said. “The summer when for society to function you had to care about people you don’t know

Black Americans are roughly twice as likely as white Americans to get sick and die from COVID-19, according to data compiled by the Color of Coronavirus project. “We are not dying disproportionately because we are Black and brown. We are dying disproportionately because being Black and brown has made us poor,” Younge said. “It’s not the virus that discriminates. It’s society.” According to Younge, more than 40% of Black and Latino workers in the U.S. are employed in service or production jobs that typically cannot be done remotely, exposing them daily to the risk of infection. Only about 25% of white
workers hold such jobs.
out of it by chance.”
When people are poor, they are more likely to have to work and less likely to have health insurance or to be in good health in the first place, Younge said, all of which increase the risk of fatality should they get COVID-19. “Being Black or brown in American is a preexisting condition,” Younge said.
Comparing the manner of George Floyd’s death with the final days of COVID-19 victims on a ventilator, Younge continued, “We can see the connective tissue between the most brazen forms of state violence and the most banal manifestations of inequality. For in both cases, the appeal to get off our necks comes with the plaintive words: ‘I can’t breathe.’”
In June, medical professionals from UC Davis Health and throughout the region joined Black Lives Matter protestors at the California Capitol building in Sacramento, calling attention to racial disparities in health care. The systemic racism exposed by the pandemic resembles the power structures that have produced and perpetuated an epidemic of police killings of Black people, Younge said. “This is not about one moment or one murder but the entire infrastructure of justice. Pretty much exactly the same thing could be said for COVID,” he said. “And since we didn’t get to this place by accident, we won’t get
During a question-and-answer session following his talk, Younge was asked how lessons from the Movement for Black Lives — described by Younge as “a militant humanism” — might be extended to other human-rights struggles, like those of immigrants and asylum seekers. “It’s a question of how we export the humanity that we learn from Black Lives Matter,” Younge said. “Black Lives Matter as a concept is about spreading the notion of who counts. If you start from the basis of humanity, then there’s a series of things that shouldn’t happen.”
SWANSON: Seen different sides of Davis living LIFE: Hennessey is From Page A1 provide and how are we going to pay for it?” The good news, she said, “is we did a good job (back in 2010). We kept the city employee pool small, we lived through furloughs.” At the same time, said Swanson, “there’s only so much we can do.” Much will depend on UC Davis this time around, and how many students return to Davis, supporting local businesses. But regional partnerships, seeking out grant funding, infrastructure funds could help. “It’s really looking at best practices, working hand in hand with regional partners and state partners…. looking at what funding is available. I’m hearing a lot of talk about infrastructure projects as a way to work out of a recession. We need to go through our projects, see what would be available, how do we maximize our existing resources.” There also needs to be more focus on economic development, Swanson said. “Are we adequately addressing and supporting economic development? I think that answer is still No,” she said. “This is an old story we’ve been talking about
for a decade,” Swanson noted, adding that the need for diversity in jobs remains. The Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus, she said, “is an inflection point.” “No matter where somebody is on that project, we need to make a decision one way or another and move on. There’s a lot of hopes pinned on that (when it comes to city finances),” she said. “We’ll come out of this recession… but we need to look at what we do best, what we do right. Are we being supportive of the businesses that want to come out of UC Davis and the region?” asked Swanson. “That’s going to be a key conversation with the new council and council goals need to reflect the current time.” In addition to the current economic crisis, there was something else that drew Swanson out of her semi-retirement: Being the mother of two Black sons during this moment in history. “This one hits pretty close to home,” she said of America’s current reckoning with racism in America, including in the context of public safety. “We need to have
conversations and depoliticize it,” she said. “We need a Davis solution that reflects Davis.” Swanson supports a crisis intervention training model in police departments, with trained social workers available to go out on calls when there is a person in a mental health crisis. There will still be calls when a police officer needs to be present, Swanson said, but even different training for dispatchers could make a difference. “We need to have somebody there in dispatch who is taking calls,” said Swanson, and can ask the questions needed to determine whether the call is a “legitimate call of concern or based on some sort of bias or racism. “I’d like to make it a priority in our budget,” said Swanson. “An assessment of current services, of current needs, of figuring out what we want and what we need and identifying those funding sources. And this needs to be elevated at the council level much sooner. We should have already been having these conversations at council.” She believes her unique life experiences lend themselves to this moment. A Davis resident since 1993, Swanson is a mother of three whose history in
Davis has included everything from serving those eight years on the City Council to spearheading the effort to build a new stadium at Davis High School. She is a graduate of both UC Davis and McGeorge School of Law “I know what’s like to live in Davis and be poor,” she said. “I know what it’s like to live in Davis and be successful. I know what it’s like to go to the store with the child who looks like me and be treated one way and go into a store with a child who looks different and be treated differently even by the same people. “I think that voice is really important because we are at this time, this unprecedented time here where people across the spectrum respect the need for us to address equity.” Her vision for the next four years: “Doing our best to navigate this new economy and making sure we are in the best position to remain resilient through it; and that being done with knowledge and compassion and with both the long- and mid-term in mind.” Learn more at www. rochelle4davis.org. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

pursuing his dreams From Page A1 Hennessy said. “It’s pushed me to pursue my dreams. It’s amazing that I’m enjoying the best days of my life while literally fighting for my life.” The tagline perfectly describes Hennessy’s reality TV Show, “Yolo YoYo’s ‘Hannah & friends fun & uplifting adventures through Yolo County.” Hannah, Hennessy’s daughter and now a sixth-grader, is also the main subject of Hennessy’s book, “Touched by Hannah.” “There’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time with Hannah. The vibe that reverberates throughout the car when we head out to film for the show — with her friends, doing what we love to do — it’s priceless.” The make-you-feelgood “Yolo YoYo’s” Season 1 was a hit on Facebook. The 12 episodes reached an audience of more than 125,000. Fans can look for Season 2 in October on Facebook, Sacramento Channel 18 and Davis TV Channel 15. His book, “Touched by
Hannah: A Man with Cancer. His 1 lb. newborn. And their fight for Life” is a true story. Hannah was due Dec. 7, 2009, but born Sept. 1 — close to death and weighing a mere 1 pound, 9 ounces. Less than a month prior, Hennessy endured radical prostatectomy cancer surgery at Stanford Hospital. The trailer film he produced to support the book won an award at the IndieFest Global Film Competition. “Touched by Hannah” is slated for release late 2021. Chris explained his Chelsey nomination. “The real award was getting to work with so many highly talented actors, dancers and singers; sold-out shows; audiences erupting with appreciation — it was the most enriching experience of my life.” “My wife Betsy deserves a medal of honor,” he said, noting that she’s been there for Hannah and him the past 11 years. “She’s our rock. We’ve endured numerous lifethreatening situations and have become stronger, more confident folks.”

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2020
Sound of silence as China abuses Uighurs I Y n the wake of the Holocaust, in which 6 million European Jews were murdered in just a few years, the slogan, “Never Again,” became a driving force in Jewish life. Never Again meant never again would the Jews allow themselves to be led to slaughter. Never again would they be in such a position of weakness and defenselessness. Never again would there be another Holocaust. To achieve that security, the Jewish nation needed a Jewish state. And as much as possible, Israel — surrounded by ruthless enemies, villainous governments and malignant terrorists — would always have to be militarily strong. Since its declaration of independence 72 years ago, the modern state of Israel has succeeded in that role as the bulwark for the Jewish people. Despite being attacked and threatened repeatedly by Muslim armies, near and far, the Jewish state has only grown stronger. Yet the fear of genocide lives on in the Jewish consciousness. Perhaps because Israel has been so successful, most Jews don’t limit the Never Again slogan to themselves. It has grown from the particular to the universal. Whenever and wherever a racial minority or hated ethnic group is threatened with genocide, Jews the world over have led the clamor for justice. In the 1990s, that was true, for example,
LETTERS Re-elect Provenza Supervisor Jim Provenza is a results-oriented policy-maker, and as our elected representative he doesn’t merely talk about ideas, he implements solutions and accomplishes objectives to improve our lives. In 2020, under the pandemic conditions of COVID-19, and the most severe CA Wildfire Season in history, Supervisor Provenza has redoubled his dedicated efforts in actions, not just words. I have worked with Provenza in multiple capacities during his tenure as our District 4 representative, and as a 45-year fire service veteran (including fire chief of Davis) I am particularly impressed with his solutions on issues of public safety. Provenza is one of the most responsive, action-oriented elected officials I have ever worked with. A sampling of Supervisor Jim Provenza’s public safety accomplishments include the following: ■ Wildfire Response — strongly advocating for sustainable first-responder resources to respond, protect and suppress the threat of fire — providing realtime information to citizens. ■ COVID-19 Pandemic Response — a compelling voice for the utmost consideration of a consistent and science-based public health response to pandemic conditions. ■ County Emergency Manager — preserving a full-time emergency manager to oversee critical Yolo County disaster preparedness, response and recovery. ■ East Davis Fire Protection District — representing fire protection interests for county areas in District 4, ensuring sustainable funding for fire emergency response and prevention. ■ Putah Creek South Fork Fire Fuel Reduction — bringing the county and city together on fire fuel reduction measures to fortify the wildfire safety in Willowbank. ■ Mace Blvd Citizen-based Committee — established to facilitate District 4 citizen input and problem-solving, with an
when Hutus in Rwanda began murdering their Tutsi neighbors. It was true when Muslims in Bosnia were being rounded up and killed by Serbs. In more recent times, it was true when the Arab regime in Sudan began murdering its nonArab population in Darfur. It was true when Burmese military began raping and murdering Rohingya Muslims, forcing 740,000 to flee to Bangladesh. Today, it is true in the northwestern province of Xinjiang, China, where more than 1 million Muslim Uighurs and Kazakhs have been rounded up and locked in concentration camps. According to investigative reporting done by BuzzFeed News, “China has secretly built scores of massive new prison and internment camps in the past three years, dramatically escalating its campaign against Muslim minorities.” Since 2017, “China has established a sprawling system to detain and incarcerate hundreds of thousands of Uighurs, Kazakhs and other Muslim minorities, in what is already the largest-scale detention of ethnic
and religious minorities since World War II,” BuzzFeed reported last week. While Beijing denies building concentration camps, satellite evidence confirms the massive prison-building campaign. While Beijing denies it is persecuting Uighurs and other Muslims in Xinjiang, former detainees affirm the mistreatment, including forced labor, of ordinary Muslims in the concentration camps. According to BuzzFeed, the Muslims held in the camps have been “subjected to torture, hunger, overcrowding, solitary confinement, forced birth control and a range of other abuses. “They said they were put through brainwashing programs focusing on Communist Party propaganda and made to speak only in the Chinese language.”
I
t’s not the case that China has identified individual terrorists or radicals and detained them. Simply visiting a foreign website has been enough to get a Muslim citizen tossed into one of the sprawling concentration camps. No one in these prisons gets a day in court. There are no criminal charges or formal arrests by their Chinese oppressors. Rian Thum, a scholar of the history of Islam in China at the University of Nottingham, says the internment of the Uighurs is on an industrial scale comparable to Nazi Germany and the abuse of civil and human rights is as malicious as that in
North Korea. It’s not the case that only Jewish groups, rabbis and journalists have protested the treatment of China’s Muslims. The U.S. Congress recently passed the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020. That act gives the Trump Administration three months to issue a report detailing the abuses against the Uighurs and identifying Chinese officials and others responsible for the mistreatment. The president can then impose sanctions against those guilty parties. Unfortunately, Mr. Trump’s stance has been inconsistent. According to his former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, the day Donald Trump signed the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act, Trump told Xi Jinping that China should continue locking up the Uighurs. The European Commission has been discussing a similar response taken by the U.S. Congress. However, to date, the executive branch of the European Union has failed to act. In 2019, 22 countries that are part of the 47-nation UN Human Rights Council signed a letter condemning China’s treatment of the Uighurs and other minorities. However, none of the 13 Muslim majority nations on the HRC would agree to condemn China. What’s most shocking to me has been the ubiquitous silence in most of the Muslim world to the terrible treatment of China’s Uighurs. If Palestinian terrorists
attack and kill Jews, and Israel responds, every Islamic country protests what they claim is mistreatment of Muslims by Jewish authorities.
was just an idea, and continued his involvement through DMF9 last year, even holding a board of directors position along the way. In late 2011, Josh also held the first conceptual planning meeting among a few live music enthusiasts who ended up spearheading the Davis Live Music Collective in early 2012. One thing that I hope you take away from this note and my experience working with him is that he listens. He considers perspectives that aren’t his own and ponders the impact of an idea or suggestion before forming an opinion. He takes in information and asks questions and considers all sides of the equation. Josh manages to juggle many moving parts: owning a business downtown, being on the board of the Davis Downtown Business Association, staying engaged in the community, meeting with business leaders and individual contributors alike, making time for his family and still having time to enjoy live music in and out of his store. Second FridayAbout is just one example of the culmination of his efforts to help improve the lives of Davisites. When he told me that he was running for City Council, it didn’t surprise me at all, frankly. He’s already doing a lot of work and is well connected. If you’re unfamiliar with Josh, he’s got an uncanny and
natural approachability and is friendly to everyone he meets. I encourage you to get to know him, share your ideas, and consider voting for him in November. Danny Tomasello Davis
et when over 1 million Muslims are locked up in concentration camps, and they are “subjected to torture, hunger, overcrowding, solitary confinement, forced birth control and a range of other abuses,” the Muslim world has largely remained silent. If the oppressor buys them off, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia and Tunisia apparently don’t care about their coreligionists. According to the American Enterprise Institute, “since 2005, China has invested a collective $231 billion in the abstaining Muslim countries. In nine of these countries, China has invested more than $3 billion. In Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, three of the most populous and influential Muslim countries, China has invested $25 billion, $58 billion and $38 billion, respectively.” With Donald Trump in office, the world has lacked moral leadership. Hopefully, he will lose in November and a President Biden will have the courage to stand up for the Uighurs and put teeth to the cry, Never Again. — Rich Rifkin is a Davis resident; his column is published every other week.

Deos for child care I am delighted to endorse Linda Deos for the Yolo County Board of Supervisors in this fall’s run-off election. It is time to change representatives: we need a woman on the Board of Supervisors. No woman has served as county supervisor since 2010. In addition, Linda is interested in issues that have been ignored for many years. The issue of child care has become very important during this pandemic; parents caring for children, while trying to work from home, are increasingly frustrated. In the meantime, the number of family daycare providers in Davis has fallen drastically in the last 10 to 15 years. Housing has become so expensive that family daycare providers can’t afford to operate here. We need to pursue public financial support to increase the number of daycare openings. Linda would also like to explore the possibility of the county offering a child-care program for its approximately 1,400 employees. Currently, the county contracts with a child-care service organization in Los Angeles to help with child care in Yolo County. We need to reopen a local county-run office to expand child-care openings here. I have known Linda for several

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 A7
It was just a wild-and-scenic adventure N
o, we didn’t hear banjo music. For almost a week our ears were graced with the buzz of cicadas, the whistle of wind through narrow sandstone canyons and the steady rhythm of our paddles pulling through the wild river, propelling our canoe east. And there was silence. A vast, peaceful and oddly comforting quiet, interrupted only by our own voices and the sound of the wind and the wildlife that call Montana’s Upper Missouri River home. In 1805, Lewis and Clark traveled up the Missouri River in their quest for the Pacific Ocean. Sixtytwo years later Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce crossed the Missouri at Cow Creek in their futile and heartbreaking attempt to flee to Canada. In 1976, the 150-mile section of river between Fort Benton and US 191 was designated a Wild and Scenic River, and in 2001, President Bill Clinton named the 375,000 acres surrounding this section a National Monument. Most recently, on Aug. 8, 2020, my 15-year-old son Mick and I packed our Honda Odyssey with camping gear, drove to Fort Benton, Mont., rented a canoe and paddled 110 miles down this Wild and Scenic section of our country’s longest river, the mighty Missouri. I love nature and outdoor adventures. Some might call me “outdoorsy.” Some might even refer to me as an enthusiast. But the truth is, I am a chicken. A scaredy-cat. A nervous Nelly. When it comes to hanging out in Wild areas (with a capital W), I have a deep respect (also read as paralyzing fear) for things that are not within my control (examples being wild animals that are bigger than me, water currents that are stronger than me, strange men with guns, and so on). When I camp at Donner Lake or Tuolumne Meadows, I sleep with the van keys and bear spray under my pillow, and I always introduce myself to the families on either side of my campsite, sharing sweet treats. I’m not being neighborly, I just need to know I’ll have allies in the middle of the night when the bears and gun-toting men show up. It is no small accomplishment, then, that Mick and I not only survived, but thrived on our six-day, self-guided, Wild and Scenic Missouri River adventure. We did not drown and we did not get eaten by wolves. We heard a few gunshots, but nobody killed us. Most importantly, we did not end up in Kansas City. As the summer of 2019 ended, and months before we would hear the words coronavirus or COVID, Mick and I had gone for an evening walk. We were sad to see summer ending and we talked about all the things we wanted to do the next summer. Among a
hundred potential experiences that made our list was “Canoe the Missouri River in the paddle strokes of Lewis and Clark.” It was more of a fun addition to our dream list than a plan. But as August 2020 approached, and Mick and I realized this odd summer was passing us by, we remembered that entry on our list. With nothing to lose, we packed our dry bags, tent, camping gear and cooler and headed out, camping our way through Idaho and Montana to Fort Benton. We arrived at the outfitter headquarters on the morning of Aug. 10, paid for our boat, made arrangements for our van to be shuttled to the James Kipp Recreation Area, where our trip would end, and drove another 45 miles east to Coal Banks where our canoe was waiting for us. Armed with our Bureau of Land Management maps, Mick took his seat at the front of the boat. He would serve as the navigator for the next week, identifying the geological formations and islands marked on the map and pinpointing our exact location by river mile. I spent my days steering from the back of the boat, making sure we cleared big rocks, stayed upright in the rapids and battled the winds that pushed us every direction but forward. When we put our canoe in the water on that first morning, we had a plan for where we would camp each night: Eagle Creek, Slaughter River, Lone Pine Rapids, Gist Bottom, Hideaway. It was a thoughtfully planned itinerary, for sure. Remember that Woody Allen quote, “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans”? God had some good belly laughs during the second week of August. On our first night, before Mick had perfected his map-reading skills, we mistakenly sailed miles past our intended camp of Eagle Creek. Instead, we spent the night under a huge cottonwood tree in the shadow of Hole in the Wall. Having paddled more miles than we had planned on Day 1, we adjusted our destination for our second night, thinking we would “wing it.” Just before dark and near tears, having found no other places to pull up our boat, we settled on a rocky sandbar, barely big enough for our tent. We drifted to sleep with water rushing on three sides of us and to the sound of a small animal clawing under the plastic floor of our tent between

our sleeping bags. From the peaceful green valley lined with cottonwoods at the start of our ride to the stunning White Cliffs to the ruggedly beautiful Badlands, it felt like we were traveling through an interactive nature museum, designed just for us. I had to repeatedly remind myself that the scenes surrounding us were not divinely inspired works of art. They were not the toppled ruins of ancient temples or the remains of monumental marble sculptures. They were, rather, the result of tens of millions of years of glacial flows, volcanic eruptions and the folding and faulting of the Earth. There were too many geological landmarks to describe — Hole in the Wall, Steamboat Rock, Seven Sisters — all of them perfectly named. But one formation that stunned us as we came around a bend was Dark Butte and the Archangel. The butte, dark and foreboding, loomed over the river. Directly in front of it, almost like a guardian protecting us from the doom of the butte behind it, was what appeared to be a towering, white sandstone angel, her massive wings spread to the sky. It was like nothing I had ever seen, breathtaking and awesome. I wish I had photos of all the animals and strange bugs we saw. There were too many bald and
golden eagles to count, sometimes nestled high up in the shade of the sandstone cliffs and other times soaring down over the river to snap up lunch. One of the benefits of paddling into the evening was seeing the deer and bighorn sheep come down to the water for a drink. One night, we watched as beavers came out from their dens to retrieve dinner for their families. The babies remained on the bank, pushing their little faces out from the sticks and reeds as their parents swam to the middle of the river. Other than deserted homesteads, an abandoned ferry landing that once accommodated bootleggers headed to Canada and a few worn trails leading to spectacular views, this land remains as it did when Lewis and Clark explored it. In fact, everywhere you look you will see and hear things that Lewis and Clark wrote about in their journals. The pesky prickly pear, gnats, mosquitoes, eagles, coyotes and mud. So much mud. In six days, we didn’t see one piece of litter or trash. Not one beer can or candy wrapper. Other than my sunglasses resting quietly on the murky bottom at river mile 112, you would be hard-pressed to find any sign of human life left behind. In a time when it is difficult to feel comfortable with the
world, be assured, when it comes to the Missouri River National Monument, things are as they were meant to be. There is so much more to share. I want to tell you about the meteor showers in the darkest, clearest night sky I’ve ever seen. I want you to hear the coyotes barking and howling at each other in the middle of the night. I want to share the disappointment we felt when we reached Judith Landing on our third day and found there was no snack bar. Designated as a “Developed Access Site” on our map, we had allowed the hot sun and wishful thinking to influence us into believing there might be a place we could pick up a Diet Coke and some Doritos. Apparently, “developed” means it has a vault toilet and a fire ring, but no snack bar. No Doritos. Mostly, I want to tell you that you should go. That you should pack up your camping gear, grab your favorite people, reserve a canoe and go paddle the Missouri River. It wasn’t expensive. It didn’t require any special skills, equipment or even planning. It was completely achievable and it was the adventure of a lifetime. And if a scaredy-cat like me can do it, surely you can, too. — Shelley Dunning is a Davis resident and a mom of four. Reach her at dunningsm@gmail.com.

et’s reminisce. Do you remember going out to restaurants? How about going out to restaurants when you had to dodge the tables with smokers? Washington, D.C., took longer than California to ban cigarettes in eateries, but by the time Rebecca and I discovered Jaleo, smoking was limited to the bar. Even so, we sometimes had to weigh the deliciousness of the food against the wafting smoke. Our dinners there increased significantly when the more inclusive smoking ban went into effect and we could linger for hours, smoke free, over amazing little dishes of grilled squid, patatas bravas and other Spanish specialties. It was there that we planned our week in Barcelona and Sitges, fabulous places with tapas almost as good as Jaleo’s. Preparing our food was Chef José Andrés, then practically unknown, now not only famous for his wonderful cooking but also for his equally wonderful World Central Kitchen, “the face of global disaster relief,” as Time put it. When Hurricane Maria
struck Puerto Rico in 2017, Andrés, in a direct challenge to Trump, became a prime figure in providing food to those suddenly homeless and without resources — as well as providing jobs for the staff of flooded restaurants. Since its founding in 2010, World Central Kitchen has worked in countries around the world including Albania, The Bahamas, Haiti, Mozambique and Venezuela, and has served over 25 million meals and provided more than $50 million to restaurants and their workers. WCK is the pop-up of the aid world. Small, fast, efficient, flexible and resilient, they recently opened, for example, a center in Vacaville (you can volunteer!) for fire victims and have been working tirelessly to distribute fresh, excellent meals to people without jobs, school kids and to seniors who have been affected by COVID-19. Their vision goes beyond simple relief — they aim to create resilient food systems in a myriad ways. You can read all about them
online, so I won’t continue voicing my own admiration for their work, but I do want to tell you about a wine I mentioned in the last column, Liquid Geography Rosado, which is donating all its profits to three charities, one being WCK. Unlike many “charity wines,” which use inferior grapes and leftover juice, this wine’s a worthy accompaniment to José Andrés-level food. These grapes are from old vines in the region of Bierzo — with its wine history dating back to the Romans — in northwest Spain. They’re 100% mencia, a red grape indigenous to the area. Beautiful and bright, this is a rosé for red wine lovers that can hold its own with backyard barbecues but work equally well with fish and vegetable dishes. It’s fruity (think
strawberry and red currant) and fresh but has a nice core of mineral and a touch of pepper that make it conjure up, for me, a tapas-filled table under the Spanish sun. You can pick up this wine at The Pip Wine Bar in Dixon ($15), or proprietor Amy Grabish (who is herself volunteering for the WCK project in Vacaville) will deliver it to your door. The Pip also carries other Spanish wines that donate generously — see the website for details. Lots of small local wineries and wine shops are trying to help out as well. Their own profit margins are minimal and things are hard for everyone (these fires further complicating matters), but they’re actively trying to make life a little easier for others. Two examples: the Dirty and Rowdy crew have created a special wine — Wear A Mask Red — that gives $20 per bottle to funds that supply farm workers with PPE, testing, education and medical and financial assistance. Broc Cellars in Berkeley has a really helpful list on its website of organizations that they support and that
are especially relevant to our local food issues — and while you’re on the website check out the handmade masks designed by their amazing label artist Marta Elise Johansen. And, of course, any support you can give by buying from small local producers is a huge help right now. One of my new favorite local wines is the Haarmeyer St. Rey Chenin Blanc en foudre (“en foudre” because it’s aged on lees in large oval-shaped casks). Winemaker Craig Haarmeyer’s a third-generation Sacramentan and dedicated non-interventionist: “Wine is an agricultural product that wants to do its own thing, and we should let it ... we add nothing but elbow grease.” The grapes for this en foudre come from Wilson Vineyards in Clarksburg — from a carefully farmed organic spot near Elk Slough. While I have drunk — and loved every drop of —many bottles of Craig’s regular St. Rey Chenin, this en foudre is a marvel. Rich and full of fruit, it has a beautiful mineral core and a great acidic finish. Textured and
sophisticated, it overdelivers for its modest $24; I’m not surprised to find that the winery has sold out. Fortunately for us, The Pip still has some bottles. We drank the first bottle with a Friday night pizza just because it was there calling to us, after which we decided that it would be a perfect celebratory wine to go with our threecourse anniversary dinner. The main course was fresh Coho salmon baked in garlic, butter, lemon, and lots of fresh herbs over pasta. Although chenin blanc is seldom recommended as a salmon companion, this bottle went perfectly with our dish. And may just be the very best chenin I’ve ever tasted — with the added perk of being made right here in Yolo County. This is the time to spend your wine dollars (even the ones you might not think you have) where they’ll do the most good; you’ll get to try new, delicious and unusual wines in the process. — Susana Leonardi is a Davis resident; reach her at vinosusana@gmail.com.

Help protect water quality E OBITUARIES T he fall is a good time to consider landscaping projects that will prepare your yard for the winter rainy season by reducing the amount of rainwater that runs off your yard and into the storm drains. Keeping rainwater onsite and allowing it to soak into the soil helps to recharge the groundwater levels and can potentially reduce the need for outdoor watering in dry weather. It will also help prevent pollution that can occur when rainwater washes dirt, fertilizers and other materials into the storm drain, where the water flows to local wetlands and waterways. Here are some projects to consider: ■ Redirect downspouts into landscape areas, so that rainwater soaks into the soil. ■ Incorporate vegetated or rocky swales, rain gardens or dry creek beds into your landscape. These slow the speed of water running off your property, reducing erosion and the amount of pollutants that will get carried by the rainwater. ■ Include permeable pavements (such as pavers, gravel, sand, etc.) that allow water to soak into the ground rather than pool up and run off. ■ Add rain barrels that collect and store rainwater for irrigation use later. ■ Create borders around your landscape so that soil and mulch are not washed away by rain or spread by wind. Learn more at Storm Water.CityofDavis.org.
Fall is the time to plant October to November is the fall planting season for our area. Fall planting is best because the soil is moist, weeds are not as prolific and cooler temperatures put less stress on new plants. As you plan your landscape for the year, consider going beyond water-wise landscaping and work to create a sustainable landscape that is more environmentally friendly, requires less maintenance, generates less yard waste, reduces water runoff, improves wildlife habitat and fosters healthy soils. Here are some tips to consider: ■ Integrate compost: Mix your soil with compost to improve soil health and productivity. ■ Add mulch: Mulching conserves water by reducing moisture evaporation from the soil. Mulch can also reduce weeds, prevent soil compaction and keep soil temperatures moderate to protect growing plants. ■ Harvest rainwater: Reduce stormwater runoff and keep water onsite for general gardening uses. ■ Utilize graywater: Consider using water from your

washing machine to supplement your irrigation needs. ■ Create pollinator and wildlife habitat: Choose plants that attract and support native pollinator and wildlife species. ■ Proper plant choice: Choose the right plant for the right place and watch them grow. For more information on plant choice, please visit the link for “Green Gardening” at GreenerDavis.org. As you update your planting for the fall, don’t forget to review and update your irrigation systems as needed. Even the best irrigation systems should be checked regularly to ensure that everything is in good working order (and no uninvited guests have damaged irrigation lines looking for water in the summer). Planting season is a great time to make sure your system still works and is optimized to best manage your new landscape. Here are some tips to make sure your irrigation system works best for you: ■ Consider plant water needs and hydrozone (group plants by water usage) to irrigate your landscape most efficiently. ■ If you have not already, consider switching to drip irrigation to provide water directly to plants and reduce runoff. ■ Check the batteries in your irrigation controller. Irrigation controllers sometimes revert to factory settings after even a brief power outage. Check the batteries in your controller every six months and replace as needed to ensure your controller continues to run properly. ■ Check soil moisture. The soil may look dry on the surface but it can be wet at root level. Use a soil-moisture meter or screwdriver to go down a couple of inches into the soil and see if the soil is still moist. ■ If you have spray heads, make sure they are adjusted to avoid overspray onto walkways or driveways. You can sign up for AquaHawk, the city’s online water-use portal, to track your water usage and see how much water is used for irrigation. You can even set notifications and be alerted if you have a potential water leak. Visit SaveDavisWater.org for registration information. For more information on sustainable landscaping and water-use efficiency, visit GreenerDavis.org and click on the link for “Green Gardening.” — Dawn Calciano is a conservation coordinator with the city of Davis and can be reached at DCalciano@CityofDavis. org.
